One of my favorite things to do in Gatlinburg is to check out the best places for candy and desserts. I have a major sweet tooth, and the shops along the Parkway in Gatlinburg allow me to satisfy that craving. They boast the small-town, good ole days charm of the Smoky Mountains and offer a variety of fantastic flavors. <\/p>\n
After you enjoy a delicious homemade meal in the cabin or a great dinner downtown<\/a><\/strong>, take a walk, a drive, or a trolley ride<\/strong> to one (or all) of these favorite Gatlinburg candy stores and sweet shops. Pick some up as gifts, treat yourself, or let the kids pick out some candy and goodies to take back to the cabin. Just remember \u2013 it\u2019s hot outside. Be sure to bring along a small cooler to store your chocolates or any candy that might melt if you\u2019re not heading straight back to your cabin! <\/p>\n Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen Aunt Mahalia’s Candies Kilwin’s Chocolates Glades Homemade Candies Chocolate Monkey After a day of sweet treats in town, head back to your cabin to relax (or play off some of those calories!).
